Yes he is. It is a sight to behold.

I am in awe. The knowledge and ability to convey such is jaw dropping.

Where are the others? I haven’t found out yet who else has showed up to support this brave and amazing man!

Please don't agonize over the fact you don't see a large group of GOP senatorial cheerleaders seated in the chamber.

This is the big leagues....all is orchestrated in these "filibusters". Certain respected senators who are with Cruz are scheduled to show up at certain times. Unseen to us, there are always a couple senators and house members at their desks through the hours to give support or to make mini-speeches when needed, for instance, when he has to use the chamber pot in the chamber or freshen up.

There's always a doctor in the building, and probably some kind of nutritionist to make sure the good senator is getting the proper quick nibbles behind the scenes and is getting the right type and amount of liquids.

There are reasons for not having a large claque of Cruz supporters in the chamber, so don't sweat it. His staff and advisors know what they're doing....and they're doing a great job.

So far, during Cruz's speechifying, the media has not found any events in the chamber to criticize or to dramatize....and this is killing them. The situation remains cool, calm and collected, as it should be. Mechanics-wise, the "filibuster" is almost letter-perfect. Speaker-wise, it's a ten.
